Catering costs more per head than ordering bowls
A Chicken Burrito Bowl off the normal menu is $10.75. The catering equivalent is $12.50 a head. That is $1.75 more per person, which on twenty people is $35.00.
There is no bulk discount here. What the extra buys is the serving setup, the toppings laid out and somebody else doing the assembling. For a group happy to order their own bowls, the normal menu is the cheaper route and always was.
The cheapest way in, for a small group
The Small Group Meals is a flat $35.00 rather than a per-head price, so what it costs each depends entirely on how many of you there are.
| Split between | Each | Against $12.50 a head |
|---|---|---|
| 2 people | $17.50 | $5.00 dearer |
| 3 people | $11.67 | $0.83 cheaper |
| 4 people | $8.75 | $3.75 cheaper |
Split 3 ways it comes to $11.67 each, which undercuts every per-head package. Split two ways it is the worst value on this page. Above 4 people it is not an option, and the per-head packages are the only route.
